An officer responding to a report of an accident on Highway 316 near Argonne Road in Winder, arrived on scene and made contact with a female sitting in the passenger seat of the wrecked vehicle. When the tag result came back, the officer had the name of the owner of the vehicle and it was the woman who was there.

The officer asked for her driver’s license and the woman replied “I wasn’t driving.” The woman stated that her sister had been driving. When asked where her sister was, the woman said “she got picked up by someone to go get help.”

The officer asked for the woman’s license again and she said all she had was an identification card. Asking again where her sister was, the officer received a different answer when the woman said her sister was on her way to the scene providing her car didn’t overheat.

Asked to elaborate, the woman said her sister was on her way back in her vehicle, which has been known to overheat. Asked where her sister would have gotten her car from, the woman said from her house in Lawrenceville.

At this point, the officer decided the woman was not being truthful since the accident had only occurred 15 minutes earlier. The officer asked the woman to contact her sister, but no one would answer the number she was calling.

The officer placed the woman under arrest for driving with a suspended license and driving too fast for conditions. She was transported to BCDC and turned over to staff on duty. Her car was towed.

Shed a place for ‘drunk husband’

A Hog Mountain Road, Bethlehem, woman summoned police to report a suspicious incident that had taken place. The woman stated that her nephew had called and told her that the police might come looking for him at her home. The nephew stated he had worked on a car in the shed out behind her home and his customer was not satisfied with the work he did and was threatening to press charges.

The woman told police this did not sound right because the shed behind her house was just a place her husband and his friends went to get drunk. She stated she had not been out to the shed in weeks and does not know what goes on out there. The woman also stated that she tries to kick people off her property, but her “drunk husband keeps letting them back on.”

The woman said she believes her nephew is in some kind of trouble and she does not want any part of it. Officers did confirm that there was a warrant for her nephew out of Oconee County.

Looking at clerk, or phone?

A female clerk at the Kangaroo store on Christmas Avenue in Bethlehem reported to police that there was a man sitting in his car in the parking lot who was making her nervous. The woman stated that the man had arrived at the store about half an hour earlier and parked in front of the door. She stated that the male driver in the car was staring at her and she was getting uncomfortable about him just sitting there, watching her.

When the officer made contact with the suspect, the man stated that he had recently purchased a new cell phone and was trying to figure out how to work it. He stated he pulled into the store parking lot so he could try to figure out how his phone worked. The man apologized for making the clerk nervous and stated that he would leave and go home to try and work with his phone.

The officer documented the man’s identity and tag number for record purposes.
